was spoken last Tuesday afternoon OF
one Of whom it was said: "it does not
seem right, when we all thought so
much OF him..
CHARLES Al. MARLENEE
was born the 10th of June, 1868. About
four years ago his parents migrated
from Iowa to Dakota andtook up their
residence where they now live. 1t was
here where Charlie most faithfully and
industriously utilized the opportunity
of improving the home, while his father
followed his trade. Charlie took sick
about two weeks preceding his death,
but did not consider it serious, and be-
ing anxious to keep up with the sea-
son, he continued working until ten
days before his death. Medical aid was
summoned and kept constantly in at
tendance during his illness, and though
everything possible was done toward
his restoration, yet pleuro pneumonia
bore it's victim to the tomb. He was a
patient sufferer and bore his trial with
out murmur or complaint. AS in health
so in affection, with a hearty cheerful
ness, he had a chow doyou do" for each
visitor, even to the last moment Of his
life.
On Monday morning at two o'clock,
the messenger Of death entered the
house and in presence OF the family
and nurses quietly bore Charles spirit
to the realms beyond. leaving to the
friends the body and the hope of meet
ing him where all is peace and joy.
The funeral took place at the house
on Tuesday afternoon at one O'clock
The services were opened with singing
C. H) No, 81, eco bury thy sorrow,
after which Rev. Mrs. Huntley read
very appropriate selections of scripture,
followed by prayer, in which she most
earnestly plead in behalf of the bereav-
ed and large circle Of friends. By re-
quest Of the family the audience sang
No. 60, II hear thy welcome voice.. The
Rev. Mrs. Huntley then preached a
touching and very excellent ermon
from Matthew 24-44. therefore be We
also ready: for in such an hour as We
think the son Of mar cometh", after
which all joined in the sentiments of
Charles favorite song, No. 35, Cali to
to Christ | owe". The most touching
scene was the farewell glance of the
host of friends. But one pair Of eyes
shed no tears, one heart failed to throb
in mourning. one mind was dumb to
the loss so keenly felt by all, the one
enclosed in the casket, borne to Hope
Cemetery. After the proper ceremony
at the cemetery, hearts and lips joined
in the singing of No. 204, In the sweet
5y-and-by". Thence we turned home
ward, yet not as those who have no
hope OF meeting again.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marlenee have lost their
ever faithful and only son. The five
sisters have been deprived Of their af-
f%ectionate and only brother. The COM
munity and large circle oil friends have
lost the central figure of their society.
all who knew him could not but love
him, al With whom he came in contact
he treated with the deepest affection
and friendship, enemies he had none.
The heart that was so full of music and
that drove gloom from so many minds
has lain aside the earthly instrument
and now strikes one, the tones Of which
are far SWeeter than that which human
proficiency has been able to produce.

The Ruby Mines of Burmah.

Owing to the very great jealousy of the
Burmese government, the ruby mines
have been carefully guarded from all
stranger and from this cause our knowl-
edge regarding is very small. The
mines are said to be enly about sixty
miles northeast of Mandalay. ~fha extent
of ground over which the rubies exist Id
not been precisely a~scertained, but 1t Is
believed to extend at least over 100 square
miles.
The "gem bed - as it is called, or strata
In which the rubies are found, varies CON
siderably at different points in its depth.
Pits are sunk down vertically till a gem
bed has been touched, and then horizontal
galleries are formed through it. These
strata differ considerably In thickness;
sometimes they are only Il few inches,
while in others they are found several
feet in depth. The earth Of the gem bed
is brought up to the surface, where 1t Is
carefully washed and the gems are Sc
cured. The most of the rubies are small,
but large ones do turn up; the difficulty
Is to find large ones without a flaw.
The lapidaries or gem polishers are in
the capital and not at the mines. The
polishing process is performed by
pounding the smaller gems and worth
less stones. These are pounded and
mixed with other substances and formed
into cakes about ten inches long and four
wide, The good rubies are rubbed On
this. When the stone has been ground
down roughly on this n fine cake Is an
ployed, and the finishing touch To the gem
is given by rubbing ii on plates of brass or
copper,-London News.

No matter where the Chinese go, and 10
matter under what form of government
they are living, they are bound to carry
out their ideas of woman as Il marketable
article. In Hong Kong, under a govern
ment that airs its boast hat slavery can
not exist under the shadows of its flag,
women are bought and sold every day.
In the British settlement at Shanghai reg
ular auctions OF women are held under
more coldblooded circumstances than
Arab bazars or those slave auctions in the
south. 1t is n part of the system Of the
Chinese, and can no more be eradicated
in places where 1t has gained a foothold
than the Chinese themselves. So long as
the Chinese confined their buying and sell
ing operations to their own women the
subject did not present such an acute IN
terest for the rest of the world.
But, unfortunately, the Chinaman is
awakening to the superiority of foreign
productions over his own native article.
Chinese are now endeavoring in all parts
of the world to which they migrate to con-
tract temporary marriages with white
women, and If, when the time comes to
return to China, 1t is not elected to desert
both family and wife, the unfortunate
dupe, who has perhaps thought she en-
tered into a perfectly legal union, is pre-
vailed upon to accompany her lord to
China, she will have to take the place of
third or fourth wife,. e., a marketable
and prosecuted concubine-in a native
establishment. Some very lamentable oc-
currences OF this kind have been brought
to notice in late years. To the woman
who contracts a union with a Chinaman
who has left his country an adult, the
chances are almost sure that she takes up
with one who has already a wife or two.
